Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
114 words
A METHOD OF MAKING A BRANCHED POLYMER WHICH COMPRISES POLYMERIZING MONOMERS SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF CONJUGATED DIENES AND VINYL-SUBSTITUTED AROMATIC COMPOUNDS IN THE PRESENCE OF AN ORGANOMONOLITHIUM INITIATOR AND REACTING THE RESULTING MONO-LITHIUMTERMINATED POLYMER WITH FROM 0.3 TO ABOUT 1 EQUIVALENT BASED ON THE LITHIUM IN THE POLYMER OF A COMPOUND HAVING AT LEAST THREE REACTIVE SITES CAPABLE OF REACTING WITH THE CARBON-LITHIUM BOND OF THE POLYMER, EXCLUSIVE OF RGANIC REACTANT MATERIALS HAVING HALOGEN ATOMS THAT ARE ATTACHED TO A CARBON ATOM WHICH IS ALPHA TO AN ACTIVIATING GROUP SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF AN ETHER LINKAGE, A CARBONYL AND A CARBON-TO-CARBON DOUBLE BOND, THEREBY COUPLING SAID POLYMER WITH SAID COMPOUND.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
114 words
A METHOD OF MAKING A BRANCHED POLYMER WHICH COMPRISES POLYMERIZING MONOMERS SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF CONJUGATED DIENES AND VINYL-SUBSTITUTED AROMATIC COMPOUNDS IN THE PRESENCE OF AN ORGANOMONOLITHIUM INITIATOR AND REACTING THE RESULTING MONO-LITHIUMTERMINATED POLYMER WITH FROM 0.3 TO ABOUT 1 EQUIVALENT BASED ON THE LITHIUM IN THE POLYMER OF A COMPOUND HAVING AT LEAST THREE REACTIVE SITES CAPABLE OF REACTING WITH THE CARBON-LITHIUM BOND OF THE POLYMER, EXCLUSIVE OF RGANIC REACTANT MATERIALS HAVING HALOGEN ATOMS THAT ARE ATTACHED TO A CARBON ATOM WHICH IS ALPHA TO AN ACTIVIATING GROUP SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF AN ETHER LINKAGE, A CARBONYL AND A CARBON-TO-CARBON DOUBLE BOND, THEREBY COUPLING SAID POLYMER WITH SAID COMPOUND.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
96 words
A METHOD OF MAKING A BRANCHED CONJUGATED DIENE POLYMER WHICH COMPRISES POLYMERIZING A CONJUGATED DIENE HAVING 4 TO 8 CARBON ATOMS PER MOLECULE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN ORGANO-MONOLITHIUM INTIATOR AND REACTING THE RESULTING MONO-LITHIUM-TERMINATED POLYMER WITH FROM 0.5 TO ABOUT 1 EQUIVALENT BASED ON THE LITHIUM IN THE POLYMER OF A POLYEPOXIDE COMPOUND, SAID POLYEPOXIDE COMPOUND HAVING AT LEAST 3 REACTIVE SITES CAPABLE OF REACTING WITH THE CARBON-LITHIUM BOND OF THE POLYMER AND HAVING SUFFICIENT EPOXY GROUPS TO CHARACTERIZE SAID COMPOUND SUBSTANTIALLY AS A POLYPOXIDE, SAID COMPOUND FUNCTIONING TO YEILD SAID BRAANCHED CONJUGATED DIENE POLYMER.
Claim 4
